Ulusaba Safari Lodge
Sabi Sands, Greater Kruger Park
- Romantic treehouses on the banks of a dry riverbed
- Five-star service and resort-like facilities
- ‘Magnificent seven’ game viewing and a fascinating wildlife encounter
Ulusaba is a 10,000 hectare private reserve within the greater Sabi Sands Game Reserve that has two luxury lodges - Rock Lodge & Safari Lodge.
The main lodge, overlooking a waterhole, comprises a large bar, hangar-sized dining room and split-level decks complete with rim-flow pools and loungers under the shade of the riverine forest. Quirky shapes and design decisions make for interesting discussions – if nothing else.
Ten treehouses connected by swing bridges and elevated boardwalks line the dry Mabrak River and the luxury is sublime. Each air-conditioned suite has an enormous four-poster bed, draped with mosquito nets, and a bathroom that opens onto a private deck.
A wellness spa, tennis courts, a full gym and a library with DVDs and music make for a resort-like lodge but between the wildlife and the extravagant meals you will barely notice.
Being in Sabi Sands Game Reserve, the wilderness is almost virgin and the 64,000-hectare park is rich in wildlife, African bush and beautiful scenery. Accompanied by your professional ranger and Shangaan tracker, your two daily game drives and bushwalk will reveal a fascinating world of edible plants, useful insects, shy nocturnal creatures, danger-signalling birds and ants partial to a little air-conditioning.
Top the Discovery Channel detail with exciting sightings of the ‘big five’ plus cheetah, hyena, giraffe, zebra, antelope by the truckload and a host of smaller animals; and you’ve got the best of Sabi Sands Game Reserve in the palm of Richard Branson’s hand.
